QUESTION:
A single constant force of magnitude 12 N acts on a particle of mass m. The particle starts from rest and travels in a straight line a distance of 18 m in 6.0 s. Find m.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
We are asked to find the mass of a particle which is acted upon by a single constant force of 12N, which moves to a distance of 18m in 6s.
Here, we need to understand that the particle moves under the influence of applied constant force.
Given:
Force applied to the particle F = 12N
Distance traveled: s = 18m
Time taken: t = 6s
Formulas/equations used:
1. Newton's second law of motion: F = ma
2. Newton’s second equation of motion: \(s=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}\)
